Thank you! :)
dtgreene: Of course, as they approached the top of the staircase, things didn't quite go smoothly; all of the sudden Plum fell through some strange crack in the stairs; it's as if that one part of stairs isn't quite solid enough. Perhaps it was a cobweb that pushed Plum through the stairs.
Can Lilliana figure out how to rescue Plum? Or can Plum figure out a way out of the strange void area they ended up in? Sarkozy, in the midst of all this chaos, had ran up the stairs to the dewy forest up above. While Liliana was trying to gaze down the pit and shouting, Sarkozy was up there playing in the forest. After about ten minutes, or so it seemed, Plum answered from below in a miserable voice. She Was in some sort of damp room down there, partially stuck in cobwebs. However, she was not alone, as already she had discovered a skeleton of some unfortunate adventurer sitting beside him, its backpack still on it. Lilliana asked Plum to wait while she searched for a way to rescue her.
Plum started going Through the backpack of her fellow skeleton, in hope of discovering something of use, or at least, some supplies. She found a lantern-like object among a surprisingly large gathering of knick-knacks. Plum, at that moment, became both afraid of the dark and of lighting the lantern, for she knew not what waited in that place forgotten by time itself. In a moment of desperation, she lit the apparatus, and a strange reddish light filled the entire place. Now in this gloomy light Plum saw sitting at the other end of the room a creature that looked just like her.
Plum was scared out of her wits, and out of fear started to retreat. At this point she realized that she could hardly move in that sea of spider web. She again looked at the one on the other side, and it struck her mind that she too was holding a lamp, just like her. It was a large mirror, covering an entire side of the room. Plum was both relieved and disturbed; the fact that it was a reflection did not warrant any sense of danger, yet there was something odd about it. It seemed to move, act and behave independently of Plum. Plum looked at the skeleton and wondered on the fate of that poor soul, while the face of that Other Plum filled with a malevolent laughter.
Meanwhile, Sarkozy had secured some vines and Lilliana tied them into a rope and threw it down into the pit. Plum was much relieved, and while eager to escape, she remembered to grab the lantern and the skeleton's backpack. While she was climbing up she looked at the face of the Other Plum and it appeared melancholy, and while she did not believe her own eyes, it as if tears were rolling down its cheek.
Lilliana and Sarkozy and Plum, all three of them re-united, climbed the rest of the stairs carefully. When they reached the valley, the sat down and thought of searching through the backpack.
